Description
Many thanks to Dune for his help and guidance in creating a waterfall. There are a number of ways to make one; and, this is my first. I'll continue with at least two more to see if I can improve upon it.

Gorgeous Image,
I think you nailed it with this one, Bob! The mist at the bottom of each stage is a Great Creative Step, too!!!
Beautiful image! Love the mist from the waterfalls. Gorgeous lighting. Corrie
what a surprise and you managed it successfully! can imagine that it took a long time to get it like it looks now! the steam between the tress is gorgeous and realistic! the seond part of the fall for my taste is to straight and water filss the whole space, its a bit to consistent, and I have the feeling this mountain has the wrong size for the fall and may be I am wrong, never saw a waterfall where there are no plants at the rocks? but I know you will mange it all in your next tries! I know it! ;o)
Thank you Rita. For as much time as I've spent on this image, I am not pleased with it. I should have used a different terrain. There is much to be learned when creating these falls; and, I will try another scene soon.
Very nicely done. I like the mist also. The bottom falls seems to be cut a little too sharply in places to look real (IMHO). But I admire your talent and persistence in getting this image. Wish I could do half as well.
Thank you Lyla. I will begin another waterfall scene soon. This one could have been better had I chosen a better terrain. I think the next will be more of a close up point of view.
xlt TG work like thePOV, mist and terrain (looks a bit like devil tower wyoming from theclose encounters movie)
Waterfalls aren't easy. Congrats!
Excellent work,the point of view gives a great sense of height.
Nice work Bob....waterfalls are definitely not easy and this looks good ! Cheers ! Paul
Marvelous!
I've been thinking about doing a waterfall for a while now...so far no go :-( But still, this image has a lot going for it. The POV is great...it gives the mountain a very grand and majestic, sort of Yosemite, kind of look. I also like the idea of the two step waterfall...very ambitious! The mist is really well done as well. With this experience under your belt I have a feeling your next waterfall render is going to knock our socks off! Great work Bob!
Thank you Pete, I appreciate your comments. I just started another version with a new terrain. The fellow that has really been a great help to me is 'Dune' who has the best handle on Terragen 3 of anyone I know. He continues to experiment has has come up with a number of ways to create waterfalls. I'll be working on the new project for awhile and hopefully come up with something better.
Fantastic first Bob! Can't wait to see more!
Nicely done Bob, I'm sure this is the first of many....the best is yet to come....I love waterfalls....keep on man!
Thanks Mark, these things are not the easiest thing to create (for me anyway). But, I must keep trying till I can get what I expect.
Bob, I think for your first waterfall it is really fantastic and I can imagine how much work it must be. But I am sure you will get better and better.
